Funny, considering his build is same as what I ended up respeccing into after patch from renegade, since it: huge cc (freezes, chills) in addition to normal shield+slow+singularity, tab entangle vs tab CoI isn't even a question which wins CC huge debuff (aoe -mitigation from CoI, golden on bosses too) about same AP gain…
Ah if it is giving a -%mitigation like others that goes beyond 0% instead of reducing the need for ArPen, yeah that changes things. The regen is still sucky though. =P
Yes I said and meant near worthless. Sure, I usually talk of highly skilled end game people, not your run of the mill slouchers, AND if we check the thread topic it talks of BEST, not "while gearing up". If we aim for the best, we should think the others in the group are also in their near-best gear. That means the debuff…
I was talking of the def _de_buff. Defbuff, erm, well, sure it helps if you are having troubles, but I'm not having troubles with what I have now either (what kills me on draco is dodging into just appearing purple patch which is always fun, or getting pingponged through multiple reds while knocked down so can't do…
High vizier might actually be near worthless for properly geared groups, since people will cap ArPen for their own chars pretty much since it is the top DPS stat till the def% cap. Also you will lose almost 600 rating points on regen, which is... *snort* =P Shadow weaver isn't about own dmg at dracolich, but the rogues.…
Unfortunately you waste almost 600 points on regen with vizier. =P I'd be most interested in Archmage, Gladiator and Shadow Weaver set 4 point powers, Archmage especially could be very surprising (-4sec cooldown on all encounter powers with some combo? that's MASSIVE)
Blablabla, tbh. As many many others have pointed out, a skilled CW won't need "all that jazz" to pour everything on purely control aspects. I mostly do: Ray + Mastery Chill = the chill hits the rayed mob, and I think it causes the increased dmg on ALL hit (use ctrl to lock both spells on same target in a bunch of mobs)…
I've actually never thought that this could be a solution, but this is THE PERFECT solution! Great awesome idea. Need -> bind on character anything won instantly Most problems solved. =P Wow.
Easy as control wizard? You should recheck, because as a CW I have currently used all my offensive enchants for ArPen, all my own and ioun stones non-set pieces have ArPen or offense slots, and I still am not at 2200 ArPen. It's not "easy" at all... mind you I don't have very high rank enchants since most pieces are still…
